Synthesis of diagnostic criteria and clinical presentation data.

Categorization of information based on sinusitis type (acute, chronic, recurrent) and patient age group (adults, children).

Main Results:

Clear definitions for acute, chronic, and recurrent sinusitis were established.
Distinct signs and symptoms were identified for each sinusitis classification.
The findings are applicable across adult and pediatric patient groups.
